One of the most profound challenges in modern healthcare is how late hospice care is initiated. Too often, families delay the decision because of a prevailing misconception that entering hospice means "giving up." Our goal is to meet families where they are on their journey, so by having the myHospice Companion app sit on a phone's home screen, we are allowing this vital information to be readily available whenever they want to review it.
Hi Product Hunt! When care begins in a state of crisis, families are too stressed and overwhelmed to process what is happening. There isn't time to make that memory box, record conversations, document family stories, or take photos. Society moves at such a rapid pace now, and when the time comes and a loved one dies, families often express the same heavy feeling: 'I wish we would have started hospice sooner.' What sets the myHospice Companion app apart from traditional material is it focuses on helping to create, not replace, that very important human connection around hospice via active learning and empowerment. Our goal is by putting comprehensive education directly into the hands of the public via major app stores, we can reshape how society approaches end-of-life.
The home screen widget approach is really thoughtful here, meeting families in that moment of hesitation rather than asking them to seek out information when they're already overwhelmed.
the home screen placement is such a thoughtful touch, meeting people in a familiar spot instead of asking them to search for help when they're already overwhelmed. really respect the execution on that.
Here is the myHospice Companion App Demo Link Thanks!
How does the app actually work day to day, like does it just sit there passively or does it send check-ins and resources to families on its own?
